Crystal Xbox in Canada
Thursday, October 28th, 2004 - 3:05pm
Displaying my ignorance towards our Northern Brothers is Canada a PAL or NTSC region?
If they are a NTSC region which one of our Canadian readers will hook me up with a Crystal Xbox and send it to me??
I will glady cover all expenses.
Aint nothing new about the world order..it's been playing since the day they put George Washington on a quarter
85's face the truth you're too dumb.
Canada is NTSC, is there some Canadian retailer you know of that has them in stock? Can''t say I''ve seen it.

I will hopefully get a call back for an interview at the local Future Shop soon, (decided I might as well have a discount I would use,) and while I''m there I''ll ask about this. If you wanted to do it online, you could probably pay for it yourself, and have it shipped to one of the Canadian GWJ''ers, who would then send it to you. They allow the billing address to be different than the shipping one.

Man you had my hopes up by reading this thread, I thought for sure they were appearing in Canada. Doh!
I need one by next month and I can''t decided whether or not to buy the Amped/Top Spin bundle new or just pick up a cheap used one somewhere. I wish there were more options/special editions/offers.

No freaking way. Grumpicus, I don''t say this to many men. Well, any. But I heart you for finding that.
Erm.. nevermind, I must control my giddyness until I actually see one of these in the stores.

I see my biggest gripe against the XBox controllers still holds true. The controllers themselves come in all sorts of cool colors, which is good, but the plugs are still just that black/green. The plugs should match the controller color, making it easy to pick up a controller and tell, through a mess of wires, which slot it is in.
Oh well.

Morrolan, have you seen this anywhere yet? I think I might call EB at lunch to find out, hope I get a non-brain dead employee

Rumored to be out on November 2nd (though the xbox.com link says October 2004).

Assuming it actually happens I''ll hook you up Guru. The real question is, what have you done for me lately?

More importantly, who is selling a case mod that looks identical to this for my current xbox?

Clear Xbox Case

Cool! If I ever have disposable income again I''ll pay $35 for that. Can probably find a clear controller somewhere else to go with it.
Bah! It doesn''t say xbox in the middle like the crystal one does.

Hmm... and I''ve been looking for a reason to buy an Xbox... how much is $249 CDN? Like 12 bucks?

249.00 CAD = 204.500 USD
1 CAD = 0.821286 USD 1 USD = 1.21760 CAD

$205.13, according to XE.
Edwin beat me to it. I also did $249.99, assuming that would be the real price.

Hrm... too bad this isn''t available at, like, a Best Buy, where I can do no interest financing.

I love the generic auto-replies, thanks for the help MS. You did make the Xbox and presumably know when it should ship to a certain region right?

DESCRIPTION :
Hello, I would like to know when the Crystal Edition Xbox bundle is available in Canada, as it''s listed as October 2004 on the Xbox website. Thank you.

Swat, I suspect the reason she didn''t give you a straight answer is because it hasn''t been officially announced (which kind of seems at odds with the whole ""it''s on the website"" thing) and that''s why it''s no longer listed at futureshop.ca... but I also suspect that you''ll have your answer come Tuesday.
Edit: Swat, not Sway

I know, I just have this little problem with being so goddamned impatient. I was at Future Shop today and thought about asking about it, but I didn''t want the retail guy''s heads to explode trying to process that kind of information
And it''s Swat with a T, I think Sway''s another dude

HEY! I''m soon to be a retail guy!
[got the interview, going on Sunday.]
[edit] - I''m not too worried. Considering the asshats I''ve encountered at FS, I don''t think it''s arrogant to say I''m a shoe-in.
